ive run with my safc2 for the last 4 years running up to 290rwhp, have just put a highflow on so in the market for a full ecu, they are good for what you pay, but better things out there these days.

How come noone seems to rate the Greddy EMU as an alternative to the PFC? I know it is still a Piggy Back Computer but I have had one for around 12 months and am really happy with it (Bought it back when PFC's were very scarce and VERY expensive!)and last time I checked which was a while ago they were a little cheaper than a PFC

Is there something I dont know about the EMU??

Had it installed by Jim at CRD and he seems to rate them just as high as a PFC

Sorry for the thread jump

An interceptor is just that, its never going to be "as good"

IMO the cost for the Greddy thing, for the extra couple of hundred you can get a full standalone... so its not really a big choice in my eyes

Hey Cobba.

My 2 cents worth................... The first 2 x replies to your original question are on the money IMHO.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

it depends on your aims.... i have a power fc in my street car (300rwkw) and couldn't do without it...

i'm building up a ke70 drift pig with an SR20 and will probably just go with a safc for $$$ sake... the car is getting stripped and should weigh 900kgs give or take so i dont need massive power... 180rwkw (using my old 33 turbo) or so is the same power to weight as around 270rwkw in a full weight 33gtst.

the ke70 will be a rough car though... and if i get real shitty with the lack of timing i might buy a 2nd hand SITC in the future...

just to show an example of how its not always needed...

The money you spend on a SAFC you could get a toshi/doctor drift remap of your std ecu and do so much more with it, its not a pfc, but its way better than a SAFC.

So bang for bucks as a first step is rechip imo.

read this and other threads like it:

This is what i wanted to do. But i would much prefer a Toshi remap with the road tune he does. I was a bit wary of just telling him my mods list and getting a re-map. He was asking for the temps i get over in NZ etc. He even said it would need to be dyno'd and touched up as required anyway. So theres more cost for that option

If he flew over however..

I would lean towards a full ecu if possible.

Im in a similar boat. My turbo is on its way out and have eyed up a larger turbo which ill be getting very soon. I bought a BRAND new SAFC Neo for peanuts(mates rates). However im contemplating whether to have it tuned or sell it, put the money aside, save up for a Link G4 and get it tuned once and for all.

Like everyone said tho, if you have a stock turbo you could do with a safc, however, when you do get 200rwkw, i bet you my bottom dollar that you WILL want more, and then you will realise "Doh, iv hit a brick wall". I know its hard, but you will end up saving money in the long run.

Just my 2c.
